The Complete Blind Willie Johnson is a compilation album of all the known recordings by American gospel blues singer-guitarist Blind Willie Johnson.[1] As part of the Roots N' Blues series, it was released jointly by Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings, on April 27, 1993. All of the tracks on the two-compact disc set were originally issued by Columbia on the then-standard two-sided 78 rpm record format.
Over the years, many of the songs were included on other compilations, such as Blind Willie Johnson – His Story (1957)[2] and Praise God, I'm Satisfied (1977);[3] however, this album marks the first time all of Johnson's recordings were compiled on one set.[citation needed] In 2013, Columbia reissued the album as The Essential Blind Willie Johnson.
